"Zombie Categories"? Rio+10 and the North-South
Divide
|
Public Debate
|
| |
August 26; 18h15-20h00; Boell Forum -- "Zombie
Categories"? Rio+10 and the North-South Divide; Debating
the Jo'burg Memo/Theatre Fair Wealth. The conventional
North-South distinction obscures the fact that the dividing
line in today ’s world,if there is any,is not primarily
running between Northern and Southern societies,but right
across all of these societies.The major rift appears to be
between the globalized rich and the localised poor. Are North
and South "Zombie categories"? What meaning
do they still command if we look at an increasingly complex
international scenery. Do these categories still reflect important
realities? Every evening during the World Summit, the Boell
Forum will witness an unusual combination of two events: a
short theatre play and a subsequent debate on the
themes of the Jo'burg Memo, featuring the key challenges
for the World Summit. The same play will be performed every
day, while the debate will have a different focus each
evening. MORE + [ Overview
of the seven debates ]
